You've earned a second chance at freedom, but it's slim. About 3 months ago, Edward hired a man named John Peterson to help him make some "engineering changes" to an elevator shaft on his property. John quickly figured out that these changes he was being asked to make were indeed sinister in nature. When he confronted Edward, he was told that he could not leave until the project was finished or else his wife and daughter would pay the price. The project is complete and John is long dead. You've found yourself locked inside the elevator shaft. Will you and your friends be able to follow the steps John put in place for you? Or will you perish under the weight of a 6 ton steel elevator? This is the most technically advanced room The Basement has to offer. The Elevator Shaft delivers a level of realism and intensity that is unmatched in the world of Escape Rooms today.

This is literally one of the coolest escape rooms I've ever done. Super interesting, very atmospheric, high tech, with some of the coolest and most immersive puzzles I've ever seen.
Special effects were extremely impressive and convincing.

An intense and claustrophobic experience. Out of all the games offered by The Basement, this one was a standout.

You will need to crawl and pull yourself across tight spaces. You may get wet.
This game is not accessible for people with mobility issues or for people who have trouble seeing in low light.

This was a small but really creative space. It has some elements that I have never seen in any other room and makes it feel like you are in an elevator shaft. The only thing was that when we played, the cables were not connecting correctly after so much use. We knew we were doing things right but it wasn't accepting the answer because they were quite old.

This was a really fun room and we really felt like we were in an elevator. The puzzles were fun and flows well with the previous chapter.

This was amazing production quality. Such intricate clues. I love the basement escape rooms. Definitely the coolest escape room Iโve ever been to

Great horror themed room that makes the most of an intentionally cramped space. The only Basement room recommended for a 2 person team, and itโs a fun? ride.

You will get wet and possibly scraped up. So realistically put together

The Basementโs Elevator Shaft was incredibly immersive. There was smoke, water, moving parts, buttons, switches, the whole shebang. Though the room was small, the 45 minute timer keeps you on your toes and working the entire time. Some puzzles are right in front of you and some you need to work for. Letโs just say I should have looked everywhere and read everything before I started some puzzles. I was completing the last puzzle when me and my partner ran out of time and I donโt think Iโll let myself live it down for the next 3 weeks.
